Manitoba Maple vs Tulip Poplar
Liriodendron tulipifera
Acer negundo
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Tulip Poplar is the perfect shade tree for wide open spaces. It has a shallow and extensive root system, so ensure you give it space to grow. The attractive and showy, yellow-orange, tulip shaped flowers are where this tree gets its name.
Tulip Poplar is somewhat rare in Canada but highly sought after as it is difficult to grow. Does best in a moist, well-drained soil.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Tulip Poplar seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Manitoba Maple is a fast growing tree with great fall color. These trees are typically grown as feature or shade trees on larger properties and acreages. Manitoba maples are cold hardy and tolerant of a wide range of soil moisture conditions.
Note that Manitoba Maple is considered toxic to horses.
